Chapter 4- First day of the Academy
"It's only two in the morning why can't I go back to sleep" Naruto asks himself knowing he had to get up in five hours for his first day at the academy, so he rolled over onto his side trying to fall back to sleep but failing to do so
"Damn it Kakashi sensei waking me up at four everyday for the past two weeks, now I can't sleep in later" Naruto thought grumbling slowly pulling his covers off himself, and sliding out of bed to get a shower
After he got a nice cool shower, trying to wake his body up so he could practice some kenjutsu, before heading towards the academy
Naruto walked to his dresser, putting on a pair of black anbu style shinobi pants and a black muscle shirt, while he flings his sword onto his back
Turning around he tredges to the kitchen to make himself something to eat before heading out, he opened up the fridge and got some milk out, shutting the door behind him, walking to the table and setting it down before going to a cabinet that he kept his instant ramen in, pulling one out filling it up with water and heating it up, then taking it to the table to eat it
"I wonder what it will be like to be the only four year old in class" naruto thought to himself nervously knowing that they may make fun of him for being so young, or mad that he skipped three years of the academy
"It doesn't matter I will beat everyone of them" Naruto shouted getting pumped for his first day
After Naruto finished his breakfest, he headed out of the apartment shutting the door behind him to head to training ground seven
Once Naruto left his apartment he started sprinting down the road seeing noone out, because of it being four in the morning now he didn't mind though, it being quiet made it all the much better
"I think I should get some new weapons first before I head to the training ground" Naruto thought turning and heading down a different street to a weapon shop that was open this early
He approached the weapon store seeing the lights on, so opening the door he entered in shutting the shop door behind him
"How may I help you" Higurashi the store owner asked Naruto once he entered through the door
"I would like a new set of kunai and shuriken, also some chakra weights, so I can up the weight as much as I like" Naruto said to Higurashi, who got up off his stoll and went to the back to get the necessasary equipment for him
While Higurashi was in the back Naruto started to look at all the things on the walls, Naruto spots a book on a shelf that caught his eye, so he walks over to the shelf and realizes it's a book of fuuinjutsu
"wow, this looks amazing I remember sensei, eplaining to me what fuuinjutsu does and how it works, I want to try it out" Naruto says to himself fliping a couple of pages in the book
Higurashi walks back out seeing Naruto looking through a book on fuuinjutsu, that he put on the shelf just yesterday
"what are you doing Naruto" Higurashi asks watching Naruto turn towards him with a giddy look on his face
Naruto walks up to the counter placeing the book on the counter once shut
"Could I get this book as well Higurashi" Naruto says hopeing he would allow it being that he was so young
"sure you can Naruto, that's only a beginner's guide anyway, so I don't mind, I'm glad your interested in it though, there are not many fuuinjutsu users out their" Higurashi says ringing the equipment and the book up
"That will be ten thousand ryo" Higurashi states waiting for Naruto to get the money out, Naruto gets the required money out giving it to Higurashi
Naruto grabs his equipment and book, takeing off his old weights putting them in one of the scrolls Kakashi gave him, while slipping on the new ones and putting the kunai and shuriken in their respective holster
"Thanks Higurashi-san" Naruto says
"No problem Naruto just remember, whenever you need something just come to me I'll be happy to help you out" Higurashi says watching Naruto bolt through his door and down the rode
"Now time for some training, the academy starts in three hours so I got plenty of time" Naruto thought to himself just now entering training ground seven
Naruto walks into the clearing starting his morning warm-up like he did every morning these past to weeks with Kakashi's torture he called training, but the training helped him in the end
He droped and began his pushups, doing one hundred intead of fifty now because Kakashi had uped the count only one week into his training
Once finished with his one hundred pushups he moved on to his one hundred situps then his one hundred laps around the training ground, when he finished his last lap he walked back to the center of the clearing starting to stretch when a dog maked anbu appeared in front of him in a swirl of leaves
"what are you doing here Kakashi sensei" Naruto asks shocked to see him here, since the two weeks were over
"For one, I'm here because this is usually were we have been training for the last two weeks so I knew you ould be here because I have been wakeing you up at four the past two weeks so your body is use to it by now and wakes up on its own now at this time" Kakashi says eplaining it to Naruto
"I should beat you up for that Kakahi sensei, I couldn't get any etra sleep this morning, I'll probably be falling asleep in class today, so thanks for seting my body on this routine" Naruto says grumbling about stupid sensei's
"You'll be fine, you will be able to stay awake all day, I mean you were doing it in our training sessions, so you can do it during the academy as well" Kakashi says
"I hope but what are you doing here sensei" naruto asks again
"I am here to wish you luck, even though you don't need it because you know most of the things the academy teaches but also I am here to train you some more in kenjutsu before I leave on my mission and before you head to the academy" Kakahi eplains unsealing a wooden sword, while Naruto does the same
They both get into stances, preparing for the spar
"heh, Kakahi sensei good thing you have a mask, so I don't see your shocked face hen I kick you're ass" Naruto says smirking charging forward
"well, maybe your right but most likely you will miss my grin, when I knock you down again" Kakashi says back charging forward to meet him halfway
Naruto came up but ducked quickly from a swing from Kakashi who followed it up bringing his knee up to try and knee Naruto in the face but Naruto brings up his left arm guarding his face but still sliding back quite a bit because of his tiny frame compared to Kakashi's
"Damn it" naruto thought jumping forward swinging his sword diagnaly, Kakashi brings his blade up and the two swords clashed, they both started swinging trying to get the uper hand on the other but their swords just kept clashing so neither got any ground on the other
"He has really improved quite a bit in these last to weeks even though I'm only going about five percent on him but he still is really good for a four year old" Kakahi thought blocking another swing from Naruto
Kakashi starts pushing Naruto farther and farther back using about ten percent of his strength now
Naruto jumps up and over a swing from Kakahi, coming down on him with an axe kick but a second before it connected Kakashi leans back and grabs Naruto's ankle with his left hand swinging him around, throwing him into a tree about twenty feet away
"Ok Naruto that is enough for right now I need to get going, I'm about three hour late by now" Kakashi says sealing the wooden sword back up, watching Naruto stand up shakily after the collision with the tree sealing his wooden sword away as well
"So you're using me as an excuse for being late now" Naruto asks
"Yep, though I think you may need to use me as an excuse as well, since you only got about two minutes to make it to the academy before your late, Ja ne" Kakashi says vanishing in a swirl of leaves to go meet his team at the gates of Konoha
"what" Naruto shouted out looking at the sun for a moment, then realizing Kakashi was right grabbing his sword and strapped it to his back while running too the academy
"I think I will use sensei as an excuse since he is the one that made me late" Naruto thought running down the street to the academy
(Academy)
"Where are you Naruto" Asuhi thought standing in front of the classroom which began around ten minutes ago
"Alright class, pull out your tet books so we can go over the things that will be on the test net week" Asuhi announced to the class
"Sensei, I thought e were supposed to get ne student today" Yugao asked Asuhi ,waiting for an answer
Asuhi contemplated whether or not to tell the cla that Naruto as not here yet
"The new student is not here yet so we will continue the days lessons until he arrives, then in which case the day shall change slightly after that" Asuhi sensei explained
"Why would the schedule change due to a new student, wouldn't it stay the same and the new student would start where we left off as well" Yugao asks while most of the class agreed to the statement
"The reason the schedule will change is if the new student that is coming into this class has not caught up with you guys yet" Asuhi says to the confused class
Yugao and most of the class look at Asuhi sensei beyond confused
"What do you mean Asuhi-sensei" a random student in the front row of the class asked knowing most of them wanted an answer
"The student who is entering our class today is only four years old that's why I'm waiting for him to get here to find out if he caught up with you guys or not" Asuhi sensei said watching the classes eyes widen from being told a four year old is being placed in their class
That's when some of the class erupted into angry shouts and some just stayed quiet wondering why they would let a four year old even in the academy especially into their class which is already in their fourth year
"why is a four year old coming into our class and even coming into the academy at all for that matter, don't you have to be six to even become a first year" Yugao asks Asuhi clearly confused on the matter, a lot of the class just nod with Yugao's question
"Well, in most cases you have to wait till your six to enter into the academy but the hokage enrolled him into this class knowing Naruto better than anyone else so treat him nicely when he arrives, he might be more then you expect him to be especially from a four year old" Asuhi explained to Yugao and to the class knowing how mean kids can be sometimes
"Now who can tell me, in a situation where you're surrounded by two iwa ninja what type of weapon would be better a kunai or a shuriken" Asuhi sensei asked the class
A random student replied with a kunai because if the rock ninja put rock armor on it would go further in then a shuriken would
"Good answer, that's correct" Asuhi sensei replied flipping a page in his book moving on to the net lesson with the class
(Naruto)
"I'm already fifteen minutes late, I got to hurry" Naruto thought running up to the academy grounds then flinging the academy doors open, shooting down the hallway
"What classroom do I go to" Naruto asks himself, not really sure where to go so he goes to the teacher lounge opening the door and heads in
A bunch of chunin instructors in the room turn to see a four year old walk into the teacher lounge unsure
"Why are you here kid, this is no place for little kids" a chunin instructor says walking up to Naruto trying to usher him out of the room
"He's with me" Matsue said from behind the other chunin instructor, the chunin instructor turns and looks at Matsue
"Ok then but you have to talk with him outside in the hall, he is not allowed in here" the chunin instructor explained to Matsue
Matsue walked around around him and lead Naruto out of the room into the hall to speak with him
"Why are you here Naruto, Asuhi sensei was probably expecting you around fifteen minutes ago" Matsue asks Naruto
"I don't know where the class is, no one told me the room number, so I am kind of lost here" Naruto says sheepishly scratching the back of his head hoping Matsue could help tell him the room number, Matsue looked at him thinking that net time a new student were to come he would be the one to meet the kid not Asuhi
"Alright then Naruto the room number is twenty-seven you ran past it on your way here" Matsue says laughing lightly at Naruto's face
"Thanks" Naruto shouts starting to run down the hallway to room twenty-seven
"wait Naruto, I'm your other sensei Matsue, I'll be teaching your class in the afternoon after Asuhi-sensei finishes up so see you later kid" Matsue shouts at Naruto down the hall
Naruto brings his arm up to show that he heard and kept going, he slowed down once he saw the room number coming up, he stops in front of the door and looks at the door nervously unsure before he then, putting on a smile to look confident and pushed open the door slowly for dramatic effect for the rest of the class
Asuhi sensei turned toward the door hearing it creek and start to open slowly to slow for his taste so Asuhi walked forward grabbing the handle of the door and flung the door open, making Naruto who was opening the door to stumble into the classroom, not ready for the door to open like that, Naruto looks up when he finally righted himself and saw the whole class staring at him some with angry looks and some looked like they didn't really care
"Naruto what took you so long to get here, you should have been here around twenty minutes ago" Asuhi sensei asked shutting the classroom door walking to the front of the class
"I got here fifteen minutes late because I was sparing with Kakashi sensei, but when I got here I didn't know where to go because you forgot to tell me a room number so Matsue told me the room number" Naruto explained to Asuhi, while the class was to quiet
Asuhi smacks himself in the forehead for such a blunder on his part but realized Naruto just said he sparred with Kakashi making his eyes go wide
"Wait, are you talking about Kakashi Hatake" Asuhi sensei asks Naruto
"Yep, I was sparing with him from four to seven in the morning and that's why I was late, he has been my sensei for the past two weeks so that I could catch up to your class, he probably used me for an excuse to for being late to me his team as well" Naruto says
"Ha-ha yeah right, like someone of that caliber would teach a four year old brat like yourself" a random student from the front row of the class said
Naruto turned to him sticking his tongue out at him
"I know your jealous, so don't say something you don't mean, you fag looking idiot" Naruto replied smiling
The kid jumped forward over his desk to try and stangle the little kid but Asuhi sensei grabbed the kid by the top of his shirt and lifted him of the ground
"Now don't be attacking fellow class mates, unless in a spar and even then during a spar, the spar will be a fair and nice fight not trying to kill the other" Asuhi explains putting the kid back in his seat who grumbled for not getting the chance to strangle Naruto
While this is going on, Yugao in the back row was staring wide eyed because realizing that this is that kid who ran into her before
"When I said maybe we will see each other around that day, I didn't think something like this would be happening" Yugao thought to herself
Yugao looked at her fellow class mates seeing that most of them were angry because Naruto would be in their class but she got up put of her seat seeing Naruto talking to Asuhi about if he caught up with the class yet and Naruto replied yes, so Yugao walked up to them
"Hey Naruto ho have you been" Yugao asks walking up to him, Naruto turns and looks at her smiling with a little blush on his
"He's really cute, I didn't realize that before he ran into me" Yugao thought gaining a light blush herself
"Oh, hey Yugao, I have been good, how you have been, it's nice to see you in this class to" Naruto says trying to hide his blush from her, while scratching the back of his head
"I'm really good Naruto, I didn't know that you would be the one coming into the class, and I still can't believe your younger than us by six years old do you think you can handle it" Yugao asked Naruto a concerned look on her face
"I'll be fine Yugao, you don't know everything about me, I'll show you how strong I am" Naruto says determined to prove it her the most but also prove it to the class as well
Asuhi just stares at the two of them who were interacting with each other really well
"Just ask me for help if you need it then, ok Naruto" Yugao says smiling while walking back to her seat so that Asuhi can introduce Naruto to the class
"I'll do that, thanks Yugao" Naruto says smiling while some of the boys in the class grew even angrier at the interaction between naruto an Yugao but Naruto didn't let it bother him he just ignored them
"Naruto, go ahead and introduce yourself to the class, then they will do the same for you once you are done with your introduction" Asuhi-sensei explained
"Yes sensei, My name is Naruto Uzumaki, my likes are training and practicing my kenjutsu, my hobbies are finding new ways to improvise my fighting, and training, I don't really hate anything besides the people who can't look underneath the underneath and my dream is to be the best ninja ever" Naruto says to the class pumping his fist into the air
The class starts to introduce themselves one by one once it got to Yugao she stood up
"My name is Yugao Uzuki, my likes include kenjutsu and hanging out with friends, my hobbies are training in my family sword techniques and friends, I dislike people who don't put much effort into being a ninja like fan girls they don't deserve to be a ninja, my dream is to be the best kenjutsu master" Yugao says sitting back down, while Naruto's eyes are wide from the kenjutsu part
"She's nice and pretty and likes kenjutsu just like me she's amazing" Naruto thought to himself
When Yugao was done Naruto started to look at all the faces of the people in the room, most of them looked angry, but another person stands up with no malice against him introducing himself like Yugao
"My name is Nieo Terumi; my likes are hanging with friends and coming to class, my hobbies are training and trying different weapons out, my dislikes are hen people make fun of me or making fun of someone else, my dream is to be a hunter ninja" Nieo says sitting down afterwards
"so about four or five people total don't mind me in the room, well at least Yugao and Nieo will be good people to get to know better, still though I am going to change their views on me before I graduate from the academy" Naruto thought determined to show what he was made of
Naruto was broken out of his thoughts when Asuhi sensei turned to him and asked him where he would like to sit
Naruto started to looked around the room to find a good seat but stopped looking around when he heard a voice
"Naruto you can sit here if you want" Yugao says from the back row pointing to the seat beide her
"Thanks Yugao" Naruto says happily walking to the back and taking the seat beside her
"No problem Naruto, I finally found someone interesting to talk to" Yugao says to Naruto in which he turns his head forward to the front trying to hide a blush that appeared on his face
They turn and look at Asuhi who just started the net lesson
"Alright class since Naruto does not need any time to catch up we will start were we left off" Asuhi states walking up to Naruto and handing him a textbook so he can follow along
They continued lessons throughout the morning
(Team six)
Team six just exited the hokage tower heading towards a civilian house which they were to paint a fence for some old guy for their tenth D ranked mission
They arrived at the house all grumbling on hy did they have to do chores they were ninja
"Sensei do we have to do this" Gin asked picking up a brush grudgingly not wanting to do it
"Yes you do, and you can't stop till you are done because even though these missions seem pointless but they're not they still help pay for things in the village and I don't have to do it so have sp have fun" shi says jumping into a a big tree in the yard to get some sleep till they were done with the job
"That's no fair sensei gets to sleep were we end up doing all the work" Gin says starting to pain the fence
"Don't worry Gin let's just get to work and finish this as fast as we can so we can be done for the day" Hayate says looking at Miko for reassurance
"Right Miko" Hayate asks
"I guess so but this still sucks" Miko says picking up a brush herself and starting to paint the fence
Three hours later they finished but Hayate and Gin were covered in paint because they got pissed at each other for not being done yet
"We are finally done" Hayate says sounding exhausted but ready to finish the mission
"Yeah but you two look more painted the fence and that's saying something" Miko says laughing
"Laugh it up" Gin says throwing half the bucket of paint into Miko's face, Miko got angry and started to kick Gin in the balls repeatedly for getting the paint in her hair
Hayate just looks on guarding himself just in case Miko turns on him
Shi then jumps out of the tree hearing Gin screaming in pain and walking up to Miko while pulling her back away from Gin before he makes him unable to have kids
"Are you guy's finished" shi asked them in which Hayate and Miko nod while Gin lie on the ground in pain
"Ok, then Hayate and Miko meet me in the Hokage tower in ten minutes" shi says picking up Gin and taking him to the hospital to get checked on
Once they entered the hokage tower they got their mission pay from the hokage ho then turned to shi asking him if he would like his team to do another mission, shi just nodde and took a scroll turning to his team
"Ok guys I got another mission for us, even without Gin it will get completed me know it" shi states smiling
"Is it a C ranked this time" Hayate says hopeful
"Nope it's another D rank one" shi said laughing walking out of the hokage building, Hayate and Miko just turn to each other
"Noooooo" they both said walking slowly out of the hokage building
(Naruto)
When lunch time came around most of the kids stayed away from Naruto, Naruto sat down outside on a bench and began to eat his lunch
Yugao sees this and walks up and sits down next to him placing her lunch net to her
"Don't worry about them Naruto their just jealous that your only four and are in the same class as them" Yugao states looking at Naruto
"I know Yugao but I wish they would just get over it, I mean why make enemies when you can make friends" Naruto says taking a couple bits out of his sandwich
Yugao looks at him happily in finding someone just as smart as herself, while they both return to eating their lunch together in silence the rest of lunch time
Once they finished they headed in along with the rest of the class, when they got seated Matsue sensei walked in through the door and stood in the front of the room
"It' now time for a Henge test before, we head outside and do sparing for the rest of the time, no line up and begin" Matsue sensei says leaning against his desk, while watching the students come up and get in line, he spots Naruto at the end of the line and waves to him with Naruto waving back, he turned back and when everyone were ready they began the test one person after another, about half of students failed the test so far, then Neio walked forward and got a perfect on his test
"I'm going to get a perfect just like Nieo because I know everything about the henge" Naruto thought wanting to do the jutsu so bad
"Good luck Yugao" Naruto says to Yugao for encouragement, while Yugao walked forward making a perfect henge of Matsue sensei, then walking back into line standing near Naruto
Naruto slowly walked forward after being called, everyone turn towards him staring at him thinking that there was no way a four year old was going to pass this test
"This is here I start proving that I belong in this upper class then a lower class" Naruto thought performing the necessary hand signs for the henge
All the students looked on as the smoke cleared from the jutsu faded looking as the exact replica of the fourth hokage
"No way" a random student proclaimed stuttering, they couldn't believe Naruto completed the henge
Then Naruto turned back dispelling the henge
"Good job Naruto, you pass" Matsue says writing on his clipboard while telling the students to head outside with him for sparing practice for the rest of the class
Naruto and Yugao walked outside together talking about random things trying to pass the time, once they all got out back on the academy training ground, Matsue turned to them randomly picking opponents to face off to get good idea on everyone's taijutsu is and what they need to improve on
"Naruto you will be paring with Kensi" Matsue says watching them get into their fighting stances
"Matsue-sensei can I use my sword in this battle, or no" Naruto asks looking at Matsue
"Normally yes Naruto but I want to get a good record on all the students' taijutsu so I can see the problems with their taijutsu and help them fix it" Matsue explains steping back
Yugao gets closer to the fight
"Beat him up Naruto, he needs a good beating he is too cocky so show him that your better" Yugao says
Naruto just nods and turns to face his opponent, with a flat palm out faceing Kensi and a half fist pulled back, bending both his knees slightly waiting for Kensi to come
Naruto did not have to wait long, Kensi charged forward at him thinking it will be an easy win for him
"All I need is one punch" kensi shouts turning most of the class to their match thinking Kensi would besides three people they were Yugao, Nieo and Matsue who thought Naruto would win the match, jumping forward aiming a punch at Naruto's face ho just ducked, making Kensi's eyes widen
Naruto slamd his half palm fist into Kensi's stomach making him lean forward , before Naruto followed it up by slammin his open palm into Kensi's chin sending him flying across the training ground landing hard on the ground unconscious from being hit like he did, Naruto got a couple cheers walking over to stand near Yugao
"Naruto wins" Matsue says marking it down on his clipboard, the time of the fight and ho Naruto ended the fight, telling another teacher to take Kensi to the school nurse
Naruto and Yugao sit in the grass to talk about things
"You did good Naruto, that fight gave you really good marks" Yugao says congradulating Naruto on his win
"Thanks Yugao beat the person you face just as good" Naruto says
"Don't worry I will" Yugao says smirking
Yugao's name was called then so she got up then waving to Naruto as Yugao walked forward getting into a stance, she had to fight Nieo ho also just got into a stance himself across from Yugao, after three minutes of fighting Yugao was declared the winner by Knock out, knocking out Nieo with a punch to the solar plexus
When Yugao's match ended the sounded in the academy indicating class just ended, so everyone started to leave and rush home or greet their parents out front
"Good match Yugao" Naruto says to her while they walked down the road away from the academy together
"Thanks Naruto, but I got to go home now, so see you tomorrow" Yugao says running off smiling at him
"See you tomorrow" Naruto shouts to a now vanishing Yugao, heading home him tired from the long day
Once he reached his apartment door he opens the door and turns on the light dropping off his sword in front of his dresser after closing his door to the apartment
"I'm going to take a nice long hot shower" Naruto thought heading to his kitchen to get a bite to eat first, when he walked through the doorway a cut appeared on his cheek, then a black cloaked figure jumped down in front of him making Naruto jump back slamming his head off the edge of the doorway
"what the hell" Naruto thought scared thinking someone is trying to kill him but then the figure grabbed a hold of the side of the cloak, Naruto got more scared thinking it to be a weapon until it got pulled away revealing it to be Kakashi his sensei
"How did you get in and why are you here" Naruto shouts once his fear vanished, standing up
"I'm here to tell you…..get your thing's it is time for training and don't complain" Kakashi says chucking
Naruto got his sword realizing he had no choice since he knew kakashi would drag him to training ground seven if he had to
"Ok, let's" Kakashi says disappearing in a swirl of leaves headin for training grounds seven, leaving a pissed off Naruto
Naruto's eyes widen
"Don't leave me here, you stupid sensei" Naruto shouts opening his apartment door shutting it behind him running out into the night
